Meta has announced plans to test a new feature that will allow buyers to browse eBay listings on Facebook Marketplace. The test, which will be launched in Germany, France, and the United States, will enable users to complete their transactions directly on eBay.
This move is part of Meta’s ongoing efforts to expand its Marketplace platform, which has been growing in popularity in recent years. The company has been working to improve the user experience and increase the variety of listings available on the platform.
The partnership with eBay is seen as a significant step forward for Meta, as it will provide users with access to a wider range of products and services. eBay is one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms, with millions of active users and a vast array of listings.
The test comes after the European Commission fined Meta $840 million in November for anti-competitive practices related to Facebook Marketplace. The Commission had accused Meta of using its market position to favour its services over competitors. While Meta is appealing the decision, the company has confirmed that it is working to address the concerns raised by the Commission.
